1. Transcriptionnoun

   The act of copying.

   Etymology: transcription, Fr. from transcriptus, Lat.

   The ancients were but men; the practice of transcription in our days was no monster in their’s: plagiary had not its nativity with printing, but began in times when thefts were difficult. Thomas Browne, Vulgar Errours, b. i.

   The corruptions that have crept into it by many transcriptions was the cause of so great difference. Edward Brerewood.

1. transcription

   Transcription is the process by which information from a DNA strand is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). The resulting mRNA molecule can then be translated to produce a specific protein. This process is fundamental to gene expression in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In a broader context, transcription can also refer to the act or process of making a written, printed, or typed copy of spoken material.

1. Transcriptionnoun

   the act or process of transcribing, or copying; as, corruptions creep into books by repeated transcriptions

2. Transcriptionnoun

   a copy; a transcript

3. Transcriptionnoun

   an arrangement of a composition for some other instrument or voice than that for which it was originally written, as the translating of a song, a vocal or instrumental quartet, or even an orchestral work, into a piece for the piano; an adaptation; an arrangement; -- a name applied by modern composers for the piano to a more or less fanciful and ornate reproduction on their own instrument of a song or other piece not originally intended for it; as, Liszt's transcriptions of songs by Schubert

1. Transcription

   Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme, RNA polymerase. Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language that can be converted back and forth from DNA to RNA by the action of the correct enzymes. During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand. As opposed to DNA replication, transcription results in an RNA complement that includes uracil in all instances where thymine would have occurred in a DNA complement. Also unlike DNA replication where DNA is synthesised, transcription does not involve an RNA primer to initiate RNA synthesis. Transcription proceeds in 5 or 6 steps, each moving like a wave along the DNA. ⁕One or more sigma factors initiate transcription of a gene by enabling binding of RNA polymerase to promoter DNA. ⁕Helicase enzymes move a transcription bubble, like the slider of a zipper, which splits the double helix DNA molecule into two strands of unpaired DNA nucleotides, by breaking the hydrogen bonds between complementary DNA nucleotides. ⁕RNA polymerase adds matching RNA nucleotides that are paired with complementary DNA nucleotides of one DNA strand.
